BROUGHT BACK DOWN TO EARTH ...
OK - I was sailing along and finally got stung! Last night, while I was in the throes of passionate knitting of the Bee Fields, somewhere along the line I made a booboo - no lifelines for me on this one, unfortunately ...
so most of the day today was spent tinking back to where I could discern the error - found it, only about 2-1/2 rows back (thank the deities). Phew!
and thanks to the other deities that I had stocked up on stitch markers; I do believe I am now using almost every single one I have (and, for those of you who know me well, that's probably a fib!)
notice how the frog and the hippo are looking on with great glee ...
and now - here's a taste of what arrived in the mail today (personal birthday present to myself):
I daren't open it for fear of starting it - better to let it marinate in the box - should I just wrap it up and put a bow on it?
Happy Birthday! You should come to Madrona this year and take the Bohus class from Susanna(fun teacher). Ruth(Kauni Cardi, Ruth) will be coming too! She is going to stay with me and we are going to have a blast!

btw, just wanted to add that I didn't mean to put bag but back in my comment, I'm working on a sweater for my daughter and I shaped the neck as for the left side when I was working on the right side (duh!) LOL!

Happy (early) birthday :) I'm so glad that your error proved to be only a small one, whew! I guess we both had a visit from the froggy today, I made a vital mistake and had to frog bag painstakingly for 6 rows, doesn't seem like much but I had to be overly careful :(
P.S. I love waiting to open packages, it just makes it more fun:)!!

That's a wonderful present- much better to wait for the actual day.
I have that Fergie the frog- do you think there's a reason I chose the frog?

Ah, a Bohus. But which one? I just had a birthday too. Gee, wish I had thought of a fibery desert like a Bohus. I love the Green Apple.
Your 'Bee' shawl looks wonderful. Knitting with the yellow yarn would brighten any day.
Happy Birthday to you. I wish you much happiness.

The shawl looks beautiful so far! And lucky you! What a great B-day present, to make a bohus! I can't wait to see photos.
